Profile
akibat is a prolific online chess persona whose playground is the Daily time control — patient, persistent, and dangerously fond of slow-burning tactics. Over tens of thousands of games, akibat developed a bracing mix of oddball openings, sudden tactical bursts, and an uncanny habit of finishing games quickly (or resigning quickly — depending on who you ask).
